Greek symphonic metallers Nightfall have released the second single from their upcoming new album “Cassiopeia.” Legacy Magazine is hosting the stream of new song “Colonize Cultures,” which can be heard over here or in the player below.

Nightfall comments on the song as follows: “The wheel of human race is moving towards by instinct. Slowly like a ferocious heavy tank roaring in muddy terrain and bravely like an astronaut in his capsule traveling to no man land. The creation of new lanes to earthly havens for the countless of restless souls to follow enormously is a fascinating old story. The Colonization is an unstoppable process that soon will reach extraterrestrial lands. A new Culture is imperative for smooth transition to the new era.”

“Cassiopeia” will be released January 22nd in North America and the track listing is as follows:
